I want to save my music library in the cloud /iTunes Match, but want both my wife's devices and mine to have access. Is this possible, and what's the best way to do this?

Hi all,
Can I store my iTunes file in the cloud, so that my wife and I can access it from various devices.
Devices would include 2 iPhone 6S, 2 iPad2s, couple of iPods and a MacBook Air.
We can't save all the music to a hard drive due to storage size.
If we save it to the Cloud, can we create playlists and only download these as /when we need them?
Thanks in advance,
Ed

Hi,
Your music needs to be in your iTunes library on your computer or on an external drive. Read this user topic Make and keep a backup of your iTunes library, and only stream from the cloud.
You can only use one Apple ID with match. For your wife to get access to your music in the cloud, you will need to use your Apple ID

    Hi,
    All your music need to be in your iTunes library on your computer. You will need to copy your music from your iPhone to your computer.

  • I use iTunes match but want all of my music on my IPhone

    I use I Tunes match for my music library on my Mac.  However, I want all of the music downloaded to my iPhone 6 so I can play it whenever I want.  What is the best/quickest way to accomplish that (after I have dealt with duplicates on my Mac, which are driving me crazy).

    I guess my first question is if you don't have enough music to max out your storage on your phone why would you subscribe to match in the first place?  The reason I subscribed to match is because I couldn't get everything on my phone and I wanted the ability to be able to manage what was on my phone from my phone.  None the less that is not your question. 
    You simply have to press the cloud at the top of every artist and let it download.  If you have a lot of music then it will take a long time.  If you don't have a lot of music it should go pretty quick.  Just press the cloud at the top of every artist/album you want and the songs in that section will download.

  • My partner and I have now both got an apple mac we share the same itunes account but want to use different icloud id's so that I dont get all her documents sync to my computer... is this possible?

    my partner has an ipad and i have a mac book pro... we share the same itunes account (apple id) but believe we can have a seperate apple id for use of the icloud... we do not want each others documents to be in sync with ipad and mac book... help? thanks

    Each of you should set up your separate iCloud account on your own computer using your Apple ID. This gives you two independent iCloud accounts.
    Note that an iPad is not a multi-user device. It can only be synced with one account.

  • I have Exchange contacts on my IPad which I would like to export or sync with icloud, my phone, or gmail.  I no longer have access to that exchange server.  Is there a way to do this?

    I had an exchange account for work that synced to my iPhone 4 and Ipad.  I left that job and after several months decided to remove the email account from my phone.  This process also removed my contacts.  The iPad still has the email and contacts.  Is there anyway to get the contacts off the iPad or to sync them with something (phone, email account or desktop)?  Thanks.

    Frequently asked questions about Apple ID
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5622
    An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services. You don't have to create a new account for each service—just use your Apple ID.
    How do I change my Apple ID Name or personal information?
    You can change your Apple ID Name at My Apple ID. Click on Manage your Apple ID and sign in with your Apple ID name and password. Click Edit and enter the new information, then click Save Changes. Changes take effect immediately. You can also use My Apple ID to change your personal information, such as your mailing address or email address. See Changing the name you use for your Apple ID if you'd like more information.

  • HT4914 Is there a way to upload the songs from my iPod directly to the cloud (iTunes Match)?

    This question is for my Mom as she has she messed up her iTunes and is missing thousands of songs.  She did not back them up to an external drive.  She does, however, still have her iPod with all of her songs organized correctly.
    I was able to get the songs from her iPod back to her iTunes; however, some of the albums are splitting into multiples albums (based on whether or not there are multiple artists on the track and/or album).  Is there a way to fix this?  If so, how?  If not, is there a way to bring the iPod to an apple store and have them upload the songs directly from her iPod to iTunes match and then download from the cloud so there aren't syncing issues?

    IF not, you can redownload all your past purchases. Setup the new iTunes with the same ID  and password; select Purchases from the right-hand Quick Links column, then go thru all the tabs and redownload.

  • 2 icloud ids, 2 apple id, 1 library-- how to use iTunes match?

    My wife and I have different ITunes accounts, different Icloud accounts---  on our iPhones, but share the same music library (same iMac).  Can we use the same iTunes match account with both iPhones while still maintaining separate ID's?
    I would even be willing to pay for two accounts, if I had to, but that doesn't seem like that's an option, either, with one library.
    My all music content is working perfectly on my devices but my wife have not access to the benefits of ITunes Match.
    We are all figuring this out as we go, if anyone is trying to do what I'm doing, please let me know what solutions you have come up with.
    Thank you,

    I am struggling with this, as well.  Near as I can tell, the only way to get iTunes Match to work on both devices is to sign in with the Apple ID that purchased the subscription to iTunes Match.  You can have separate iCloud IDs, but for iTunes Match, it appears that you must share an Apple ID.

  • My other computer died and have my bookmark synced setup, however, I no longer have access to sync key and I do not want to generate a new key and erase my old bookmarks. How do I retrieve them?

    My other computer died and have my bookmark synced with Firefox sync, however, I no longer have access to sync key and I do not want to generate a new key and erase my old bookmarks. How do I retrieve them?

    Sorry, without the Sync Key you can't use Sync to recover your personal data. If you have another device that was connected that Sync account, you can recover your Sync Key from that other device in the Password Manager on non-mobile devices. See - [https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/how-do-i-manage-my-firefox-sync-account?redirectlocale=en-US&redirectslug=where-can-i-find-my-firefox-sync-key#w_where-can-i-find-my-recovery-key this].
    ''Firefox Sync wasn't intended to be a "backup" medium, it was made to keep certain data synchronized between multiple devices.'' That "key" is used to encrypt your data before being uploaded to the Sync server and decrypt the data as it is downloaded to one of your devices. Only you have access to that "key", to maintain security over your data no one else knows that "key".
    If you still have that old PC or the hard drive from that old PC, you can connect it to the new PC via USB with a USB enclosure, and you should be able to recover that data if the hard drive didn't fail.<br />

  • I am trying to update itunes to 11.1.1.11 and i keep getting 'erreo writing to file : C\ : Config.Ms\301ded48.rfb.Verify that you have access to that directory'. What does this mean and how can i fix it?

    I am trying to update itunes to 11.1.1.11 and keep getting message at the end ' error writing to file :c:\Config.Msi\301ded48.rbf.Verify that you have access to that directory'. What does this mean and how do I fix it?

    I had this exact same problem just now, trying to upgrade to 10.7.
    I even got that error msg when trying to UNINSTALL iTunes!
    After hours of frustration trying everyone's different suggestions, I downloaded Revo Uninstaller http://www.cnet.com.au/apps/revo-uninstaller-10610875/ which solved the problem.
    Use it to help uninstall iTunes and related software components in the following order and then restart your computer:
    1. iTunes
    2. QuickTime
    3. Apple Software Update
    4. Apple Mobile Device Support
    5. Bonjour
    6. Apple Application Support (iTunes 9 or later)
    Then you can install iTunes from scratch.
    Good luck

    I have just over 100gig of music in my iTunes library plus what ever else I add in the future. Because of the amount I had to save my music library on an external drive as my laptop did not have the memory to hold it all. I want to back up my iTunes library and save it on a different external drive, one I store all my back ups on. Is this possible? If so how can I do it? 

    To import music into your iTunes library on the computer go to iTunes>Help>iTunes Help>Add items to iTunes and follow the instructions
    Delete the "songs" that do not play in your iTunes library and reimport them.

  • I have a 64 GB iPod that is full.  My mother has a 128GB iPod that is largely empty.  I want to take my Music library and put it on her iPod, and take her library and put it on my iPod.  How do I do this?

    Are you currently Syncing the iPod's with their own iTunes Library? Since the iPod Classic has to get it's content by this method, I assume that you are doing so for the 120GB iPod and I take it that it is a Classic.
    If you are, then simply connect the iPod to the other Library.
    If the content of the iPod Touch (which I assume is what the 64GB iPod is) is not all in an iTunes library - i.e. you purchased music and Apps on the Touch and have not yet Synced those to an iTunes Library, then you need to do that first. Bear in mind though, that the Apps cannot run on an iPod Classic.
